Our feasibility study gives you clarity before you invest.
Before spending money on engineering. Before spending time and more money on permits. Before a single dollar is committed, you need to know if your project is worth the investment.
That's exactly what a Feasibility Study does. And it's exactly where Smart Solutions Direct, Inc. starts every project.
As a Veteran-Owned design-build firm specializing in Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging projects, we've seen what happens when developers and property owners skip this step. Costly redesigns. Delayed timelines. Utility surprises that kill a project mid-stream. Our Feasibility Studies are designed to substantially minimize those risks, early, efficiently, and affordably.
Why a Feasibility Study Is the Smartest Investment You'll Make
Property developers and owners often underestimate the complexity behind EV charging installations. The electrical grid in your area may not support your planned load. Your local utility may require significant upgrades. Zoning, ADA, and permitting requirements may reshape your entire site layout. Without a Feasibility Study, you don't know what you don't know, and that uncertainty is expensive.
Our Feasibility Studies answer the critical questions upfront:
-
Can the existing utility infrastructure support your project, or will upgrades be required?
-
What will the utility company require before approving your service application?
-
What are the zoning, permitting, and building code requirements for your specific site?
-
Where should equipment be located to meet ADA, fire, and safety standards?
-
What is the realistic scope, budget, and timeline for moving forward?
Knowing what to ask and being well informed, you make intelligent decisions, not expensive guesses.
Who Needs a Feasibility Study?
Our Feasibility Studies are designed for:
-
Real estate developers planning new EV charging facilities, EV charging in existing parking structures, or mixed-use retail parking.
-
Property owners looking to add EV charging or solar to an existing asset
-
Investors evaluating whether a site can support an EV project
-
Multi-family property owners exploring EV charging as a tenant amenity or revenue source
-
Municipalities and public agencies planning fleet electrification or public charging
If you own, manage, or are acquiring a property and you're considering EV charging a call to Smart Solutions Direct to discuss a Feasibility Study is a wise first step.
How the Feasibility Study Fits Into Your Project
The Feasibility Study is Phase 1 of our proven three-phase design-build process. It sets the foundation for everything that follows.
By completing the Feasibility Study, potential project constraints will be identified and documented, including existing electrical service limitations, transformer or switchboard capacity concerns, available space for EVSE and associated equipment, ADA accessibility conflicts, and routing limitations for power and communications infrastructure. Additional issues may include grading, landscaping, structural obstructions, utility coordination requirements, and permitting constraints. These items will be evaluated to determine their impact on the feasibility, scope, budget and the implementation of your EV project.
What Our Feasibility Study Includes
Our Feasibility Phase begins with a comprehensive site walk and survey. We engage your utility company, your local building department, and your project stakeholders, all before a single engineering drawing is produced.
Feasibility Studies include the following:​​
The result is a clear, concise, professional Feasibility Report that gives you and your team everything needed to make a confident, informed decision on whether to proceed or not, and a defined roadmap for moving into full design and construction.
